Heads

[jshamster]

Does MEC, Valhalla or Climb On sell copperheads?

Alternatively, any aid climbers have extra they want to unload?

 

Cheers.

Valhalla (Squamish) and Climb-On always have.

so who pasted in the copperhead to the left of the start of Green Drag-on on UTW about 6 feet off the ground? Bad form or a visionary new route?

There is an old visionary route left of Green Drag.

 

As far as heads look on the web for detailed instructions (Supertopo had them once) and then go to a boat store with a press and make your own. It is cheaper doing it yourself. I have made dozens and never had one fail.

 

If you made them, you could call them Hamster Heads!

[olyclimber]

take a look next time you're up there...it just looks like someone was practicing placing a head.

Considering I work for West Marine, I have thought about doing this.

Guess I'll just have to go press a few a do some product testing.

 

Oly, I have heard rumours of the route next to Green Drag-On being done in the last six months or so. All heads and hooking? or something.

You work for a a store with a swager and you are looking to buy heads??? They are far from rocket science, and chances are they will fail in their placement before even a half assed swage lets go.

[jshamster]

Yeah, I shouda been makin' my own by now. Maybe I go into business? Buck apiece?
